    Aims to re-shape the hip joint in cases of hip dysplasia or rotational deformities.

    Pelvic fractures are a significant concern in trauma medicine, as they can result from various high-energy injuries, such as vehicle collisions, falls from height, or sports accidents. movement.

    Pelvic fractures can vary in severity, ranging from simple, stable fractures that may not impact the surrounding structures to complex, unstable fractures that can lead to life-threatening complications.

  • Hip Fractures

    These injuries occur in the elderly and require careful coordination between the surgeon, anesthetist, internalist, and physiotherapist.

    Surgery can include hip replacement or fixation and aims to restore the patient to his pre-injury activity level.

  • Orthopaedic trauma

    Prof Elnahal specializes in both upper limb and lower limb trauma.

    Fractures can be treated nonoperatively by immobilizing plaster or may require surgery, such as open reduction and internal fixation.

    This depends on the site, type, and configuration of the fracture.

  • Bone and joint infection

    One of the most challenging fields of orthopaedics is infection.

    This requires coordination between the surgeon, microbiologist, and clinical pharmacist in order to obtain the best results.

    Avascular necrosis of the femoral head is becoming more and more common. Core decompression aims to decompress the femoral head in the early stages of hip avascular necrosis, aiming to preserve the hip and prevent collapse of the femoral head.
